Does anybody know what is in store for hersheypark? alover the internet, I have heard many rumors for a new coaster or darkride at hershey. Does anybody have any information on this topic? I have also heard about a HUSS topple tower replacing the chaos, and mysterious markings around the park. Is this for hershey's 100th anaversery? Could it be a B&M flying coaster?

Hershey already said they do not have the space, nor want to add a waterpark.

There is a rumored floorless on the way... I hope. Storm Runner was a great investment, something bigger will be great!

Taken from the article - "The plan and company officials offered few details, but the proposal includes a water-play device, three pools, a waterslide, a water playground and a fountain.

The attractions would be clustered in the Midway America section of the park just west of Park Avenue and the Lightning Racer dueling roller coaster. The attractions would replace the Frog Hopper and one other ride, said project engineer Tim Przybylowski."

:rolleyes: It's ok, you're a n00b. ;) :p

Where'd you hear about a vekoma ride? What type of ride is it? Perhaps one of their 10 loopers?

Vekoma has never built a ten-looper. Are you perhaps thinking of the Intamin ten-inversion coaster?

First off. Intamin is the only one to make a 10 looper. Secondly, I heard it on Intheloop, so it could be a joke.

OK I'll take back what I said. I just looked at Vekoma's website (www.vekoma.com) and it actually does say they have a small footprint ten-inversion coaster. It hasn't been built yet though, so that could be a possibility for the park. I kinda think they would do a custom design though.

Well, Somthing tells me that they will do the small footprint due to space issues, But another part tells me that they will customize a track, because it will be the park's 100th anaversrey, so they will want to make a big splash.
the thing that sounds more logical is, they have a B&M floorless planned. I have heard rumors it will be violet with a yellow trim.
